Seaman Dan's latest released album "Island Way" features 11 new songs combining blues, jazz, hula and folk - all done 'island style' in an easy-going celebration of life and love in the tropics. It also makes musical connections with Oceania - where some of his ancestors originated - with songs about Torres Strait, Norfolk Island, Hawaii, Polynesia and Melanesia.

Recorded and produced at Pegasus Studios, Cairns by Nigel Pegrum and Karl Neuenfeldt, "Island Way" features some of the region's most outstanding musicians and singers: including the voice of Torres Strait Islanders recorded on Thursday Island and a 30-member Fijian choir recorded in Suva.

His debut album "Follow The Sun", features 13 beautifully written songs reflecting the many music's and cultures found in the Torres Strait. As he explains: "Thursday Island is a multicultural society and through the pearling industry there were songs from all over the world. You listen to all these elderly people as they sing and you add bits and pieces to your own song as you go on." Seaman Dan combines the traditions of Australia, America, Africa and Polynesia into a truly unique musical style, as you will hear on this wonderful album.
